lost again with no surprises / disappointments, close your eyes

Lucy is the coldest when Susan tries to speak with her, but her sister — her kind, loyal, sweet baby sister — just shakes her head and says, "You need to grow up, Susan."

Peter is earnest and he tries so hard to help, talking to her night after night, telling her he understands, imploring her to stop pretending and remember that she is a queen — as if Susan could ever forget, as if that wasn't the entire point of this whole thing.

Edmund just watches her with his dark eyes, and when Susan approaches him, he takes her hand in his own, holding it tight for the longest of minutes (the shortest of seconds) before letting it drop, her brother who never left her before, and Susan closes her eyes so she doesn't have to see him walk away.
